Working title: Creating “Korean-style” NPP: The Material and Symbolic Construction of a Nuclear Energy Regime in South Korea.
Introduction: How was South Korean nuclear energy regime developed under specific political and international circumstances, and what technological and socio-political characteristics does it have? Why did the Korean nuclear industry consider the development and export of \\\"Korean-Style\\\" nuclear power plants(hereafter, K-NPP) to be its most important project during this period? To answer this question, my doctoral disseration examines the history of the construction and exportation of K-NPP during the 1980s to 2010s. I examines the process of simultaneously creating the material infrastructure of K-NPP and its symbolic meaning; the Korean nuclear industry attempted to create and strategically utilize K-NPP to stabilize the domestic nuclear industry and break through the nuclear export market under changing social, political, institutional, and diplomatic conditions in the 1980-2010.
Keywords: Nuclear Power Plant, Energy Regime, Technology and Nationalism, Technology and Transfer
